Description

- -"Reinforcing Steel Skeletal Framework"
Introduction This invention relates to reinforcing steel skeletal frameworks, in particular for use in the construction of reinforced concrete structures.
Background to the Invention Reinforced concrete is used to build many different types of structures and components of structures including slabs, walls, floors, beams, columns, foundations, frames and civil engineering projects including but not limited to bridge decks, water treatment plants and airport runways, for example. Generally speaking, reinforcing steel bars are assembled into a framework on the building structure and then concrete is poured around the framework to form a floor or wall, for example. Constructing the steel framework on site is relatively time consuming and generally skilled steel workers are required. There is also a safety issue with workers moving about the steel framework as it is being constructed.
To address these problems, we have previously proposed a prefabricated reinforcing framework which can be constructed on site or more preferably constructed off site and transported to the building site, and then simply lifted into position on the building structure. This is described in WO 2018/083272.
The present invention is directed towards further improvements in this type of reinforcing steel skeletal framework.
EP 0 143 101 A2 discloses a reinforcement for reinforced concrete constructions comprising reinforcement elements in the form of U-brackets interconnected by rods. US 2009/235601 Al discloses a method for manufacturing a wall unit comprising arranging a plurality of I-section wall ties spaced apart in an upright orientation and engaging a reinforcing mesh within recessed slots in the wall ties.
FR 3 017 140 Al discloses a device for shuttering walls.

30 Referring initially to Figs. 1 to 5 of the drawings, there is shown a modular preformed skeletal steel panel indicated generally by the reference numeral 1. The modular preformed skeletal steel panel 1 comprises two mesh layers, namely a bottom mesh layer 2 and a top mesh layer 3 supported spaced-apart in parallel planes by intermediate spacers 4 extending between the layers 2, 3. The bottom layer 2 has a 35 plurality of spaced-apart outwardly projecting splice bars 6 for interengagement with
- 9 -an adjacent preformed skeletal steel panel 1 in a panel assembly as will be later described. Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show a steel mesh mat 8 for cooperation with the preformed skeletal steel panels 1 to form a composite reinforcing steel skeletal framework of the invention as will be later described.
Each spacer 4 comprises a cross member 4a engaged with the top layer 3 and having outwardly extending legs 4b at opposite ends of the cross member 4a. A lower end of each leg 4b terminates in a foot 4c which engages with the bottom layer 2. The cross member 4a, legs 4b and feet 4c are all mutually perpendicular.
Referring now to Figs. 6 to 17, another modular preformed skeletal steel panel according to the invention and indicated generally by the reference numeral 10 is shown. This is largely similar to the modular preformed skeletal steel panel 1 described previously and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals.
in this case the modular preformed skeletal steel panel 10 has an adjustable side edge 11.
The adjustable side edge 11 comprises a U-frame 12 having a number of spaced-apart U-shaped elements 13 mounted spaced-apart on cross members 14, 15. Each frame element 13 has an outer end 16 with a pair of inwardly extending spaced-apart parallel arms 17 which slidably engage with a main body 18 of the skeletal steel panel
10, being movable in the direction of arrow A. A U-frame 12 can be provided at one or both sides of the panel 10 as required to provide length adjustment of the panel 10.
in accordance with the method of the invention a plurality of the modular preformed skeletal steel panels 10 are placed side-by-side in a row on the building structure as shown in Fig. 8a and Fig. 8b to form a panel assembly 20. Then a top or outer face of the panel assembly 20 is covered by an outer steel mesh mat 22 (Fig. Sc) to form a composite reinforcing steel skeletal framework 25 according to the invention on the building structure, as shown in Fig 8c and Fig. 8d.

Additional modular preformed skeletal steel panels 10c-10f (Fig. 15) are placed in sequence to form a row of preformed skeletal steel panels 10a-10f on the building structure and thus form a composite panel assembly 20 comprising a plurality of juxtaposed interengaged preformed skeletal steel panels 10a-10f as shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 15.
The panel assembly 20 is then covered with a top layer of mesh panels forming the 5 steel mesh mat 22 or a roll-out steel mesh mat 22, shown in Fig. Sc, rig. 16 and Fig.
17.
Referring now to Fig, 18 and Fig. 191 there is shown another modular preformed skeletal steel panel 30. Parts similar to those described previously are assigned the 10 same reference numerals. In this case no splice bars 6 are provided. In forming a composite reinforcing steel skeletal framework according to the method of the invention, a bottom or inner steel mesh mat is placed on the building structure. Then a plurality of the modular preformed skeletal steel panels 30 are mounted side-by-side in a row as previously described on the bottom steel mesh mat. Finally, a top or outer 15 steel mesh mat is mounted over a top of the panel assembly formed by the juxtaposed preformed skeletal steel panels 30.
Referring now to Figs. 20 to 22, there is shown another modular preformed skeletal steel panel, indicated generally by the reference numeral 40 for use in the method of 20 the invention.

Parts similar to those described previously are assigned the same reference numerals. This is largely similar to the preformed skeletal steel panel 50 described previously.

However, in this case no splice bars 6 are provided on the preformed skeletal steel 35 panels 55.
- 11 -Fig. 27 to Fig. 29 show a number of the preformed skeletal steel panels 10 arranged in an upright orientation on a building structure 60 to form a panel assembly 61 for reinforcement of a wall on the building structure 60.
Fig. 30 ¨ Fig. 32 show mounting of the first panel 10 on the building structure 60 in forming the panel assembly 61.
Fig. 33 shows the composite panel assembly 61 on the building structure 60.
Fig. 34 and Fig. 35 show the placement of an outer steel mesh mat 63 against an outer face of the panel assembly 61 in accordance with the method of the invention.
Fig. 36 shows a corner panel detail having a corner panel 70, similar to the panel 10 described previously, with splice bars 71 cranked at 900 to the outer layer 2 to automatically splice with a modular prefonned skeletal steel panel 10 placed perpendicular to the panel 70.
Referring to Fig. 37 and Fig. 38, there is shown a modular preformed skeletal steel wall panel 80 according to another embodiment of the invention. The modular skeletal steel wall panel $0 has an inner mesh layer 82 and an outer mesh layer 83 supported spaced-apart in parallel planes by intermediate spacers 84 extending between the layers 82, 83. In this case, the spacers 84 have a rectangular shape. It will be noted that inner bars 85, 86 of each mesh layer 82, 83 are secured inside the spacers 84.
The spacer 84 and layers 82, 83 can be welded or steel wire tied together.
Referring now to Fig. 40 ¨ Fig. 42, there is shown a modular preformed skeletal steel slab panel 90 which is largely similar to the modular preformed skeletal steel wall panel 80 described previously and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals. This shows another arrangement for securing two meshes 82, 83 apart as a prefabricated panel for reinforcing steel elements.
Referring now to Fig. 43 ¨ Fig. 47, there is illustrated another modular preformed skeletal steel panel 100 according to a further embodiment of the invention, in this case, the modular preformed skeletal steel panel 100 has an inner or upper mesh
- 12 -layer 102 and an outer or lower mesh layer 103 supported spaced-apart in parallel planes by intermediate spacers 104 extending between the layers 102, 103. In this case, the spacers 104 are U-shaped. Parallel spaced-apart arms 105, 106 of each spacer 104 can be aligned parallel with longitudinal bars 107 or transverse bars 108 of 6 each mesh layer 102, 103.
Referring now to Fig. 48¨ Fig. 50, there is shown an arrangement for the formation of foundation pads and bases which are placed under structural columns of a building or bridge or can be used to support ground beams. Figs. 48-50 show an installation 10 sequence of a prefabricated foundation pad 110. The pad 110 can be partially or fully prefabricated and installed/assembled on site. A bottom mesh 112 is bent into a U-shape to form a bottom layer of the pad 110. An intermediate panel 115 having a bottom layer 116 and a top layer 117 with spacers 118 in between the bottom layer 116 and the top layer 117 is placed inside/on top of the bottom mesh 112. A
top mesh 15 113 bent into a U-shape is placed over the intermediate panel 115 to secure it in position and form the foundation pad 110.
Referring now to Fig. 51 and Fig. 52, there is shown a column shear head terminating detail. Terminating couplers 120 are used to provide dead end embedment for bars in 20 concrete and remove the need for bent bars at the top of a column 121.
Additional steel can be used in prefabricated elements to increase structure strength and rigidity. This includes the use of Z-bars and additional links or spacers.
Also additional welding may be provided in lifting point areas of the structure.
The method and panel system of the present invention have a number of advantages over the more conventional on-site assembly methods. Firstly, there is a significant time saving in the construction programme as the panels are fully assembly off-site and only need to be dropped into place in a row on the building structure immediately 30 prior to pouring the concrete. It is &so safer as there are no loose bar and all elements are prefabricated and designed to splice together with minimal effort. Trip hazards are eliminated as again the components are prefabricated and simply dropped into position and interlocked on site on the building structure.
35 The terms "comprise" and Include", and any variations thereof required for
- 13 -grammatical reasons, are to be considered as interchangeable and accorded the widest possible interpretation.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in both construction and detail within the scope of the appended claims.
